The Predator Teaser Trailer Now Online!

[Corporal Hicks]

To those saying that we haven't seen the Upgrade in the trailer, then who are the Preds doing the killing in the trailer? Thought they were working 'with' the humans?

Spoiler

There is 100% no upgrade in this trailer. Those Predators are the so called "good" Predator's who aren't truly good.

"I think it sucks that all these details and the script leaked. I think it has soured everything as opinions are being made and solidified in a lot of cases based on something that isn't truly representative of the final product. I know the broad strokes are the same but there's more to a film that a script that was a year old when it was leaked.  I really hope it's all pulled together nicely. "

Same here......Same !!!!

Well, Hicks, that is the opposite of what they're saying...

That most people liked it and paid money made it make a profit. It did not make it a good film. It was solid, well executed and looked good, but other than that it basically retold Pocahontas.

A "solid, well executed" film that "looked good" doesn't equate to good just because it retold an old story? Again, just because you or I (and I really don't enjoy Avatar) don't like something doesn't make it bad. As with everything these days, the vocal minority thinks it represents the majority and that's just not the case.

Iron Man 3 was a success. Critically, financially and evidently with the movie going audience that could be bothered to sign up and vote on aggregator websites - and it's usually the ones who don't like things that are more willing to go to the effort to tell people how much they dislike something.

There are two distinctly different issues here: films being succesful in terms of attracting a large audience and thus being good in this train of logic (pretty sure we can make a huge list of 90's titles that attracted plenty and still could be considered a guilty pleasure, but rarely good film). The other being the train of logic of good films attracting large audience, which has proven to be false.

I mean, I enjoyed Transformers and a few of the sequels, but I wouldn't dare to call them good films or being succesful other than financially.

I see a lot of people talk about leaked script and this is why i don't like to read them anymore. Predators were kinda ruined for me since i imagined it would be different in tone from what i read but it came out totally different... I saw same movie but from different perspective - if you dig me

[frasermaxx]

I think the trailer is good sets the mood without revealing too much. I also dig the new predator look. My only complain is why the music score of the trailer just ignored the predator themes, it felt more like some John Carpenter Halloween mood music. Had they used some kickass score like the previous 2 movies the trailer would have been elevated even more. I just hope Henry Jackman brings in some real bad ass PREDATOR score.

So they go rogue towards the end of the movie?

No. They're simply just not good or bad. They're in it for their own ends (to stop the Upgrade and his buddies).

Very true !

[skull-splitter]

Skull splitter that's only your opinion though , what exactly has been shown in this trailer that's contradictory to the lore ? Nothing. I'm liking the feel of the film there's nothing wrong with that.

A tribal race of intergallactic hunters resort to high texh splicing to stay ahead of the curve? Nice plot twist, but like the hybrid shit in Jurassic World totally unnecessary. It feels like cheap writing, give them a new trick to play with without actual need for it.

I have a feeling some are just desperate for something they just accept anything...

This is what I meant earlier.

Also: no forced humor? What about the guys commenting on the interogation? Cringe.

I've seen people shouting about the comics. What comics mention intensive splicing?

Damn you cringe easily 

A lot of people hated Iron Man 3 despite it being a fairly decent movie in terms of directing, but of course most of the people don't give a shit about directing and just want their beloved iron man to do this and that... It's cinema first and foremost, predator or not... And Shane Black is good at cinema, i think it matters greatly. But hey i'm wasting my time anyway, like i said too many people don't care about filmmaking. They don't realize they have a good director. And some of them don't seem to understand jack shit about editing a trailer either regarding all the complaints about the kid part and the ship crashing 

Iron Man 3 was pretty terrible, but that's because the script was terrible. If The Predator turns out to be on par with Iron Man 3 it's probably time to retire the franchise. There is nothing in Iron Man 3 that comes even close to being in the same league of film-making as the original 2 Predator movies. It was shallow commercial entertainment with little to no subtext. It was fast food entertainment. Garbage for the masses. Just my opinion of course. I expect more from properties like Predator.

Perhaps because it hurt your personal feelings more than just it being "a terrible movie" ?

Well, I said the same thing about people complaining that The Last Jedi did everything wrong, ranging from having some female leads to breaking Luke's character.

I grew up on the same films but I welcomed the changes they made in that film. They were on the same trajectory as the old films and just extrapolated the thirty year time period. The ones not liking it could be broken down to two options: not liking it because it changed too much and not liking it because it didn't fit their expectations.

That being said, I'm complaining my ass off over this film the same way I complain about Jurassic World's changes without need for it. Just kept it at dinosaurs and I'd be fine. All this hybrid nonsense isn't needed to make the creatures creepier.

Now with Jurassic World, I agree. That was one of the biggest disappointments of all time for me. We finally get a movie that brings an open park...and they focus on a stupid made up hybrid? So much potential just flushed down the toilet.

In effect this seems to do the same, as did Predators.

This teaser looks ok. I'm not crazy about the little boy, though. However, I was delighted to see the Predator Shuriken here so I guess the AVP movies are still canon and this movie takes place some time after AVP:R.

[Corporal Hicks]

I can't help but get the feeling they're in there because ADI still had some knocking around.  I do love seeing them back, though. Really loved them in AvP.

That's great that people liked it. I have no issue with that. I didn't care for it at all. My concern is that if The Predator is more like Iron Man 3 than Predator, I'm gonna be rather disappointed. Whereas I have no emotional attachment to Iron Man as a franchise ( still don't understand how it would hurt my personal feelings ), I have great love for Predator. That script leaking was the worst thing that could have happened. I feel like it soured everything regarding this movie. It's just too hard to overlook. Bad script typically = bad movie. Let's hope they fixed what didn't work. Obviously we can't judge the movie until we see it, but the red flags are basically screaming at us. I hope to be pleasantly surprised.

Apologies, i thought you were one of those who whine about the mandarin and stuff like that

Probably.

Did not cause any emotion of this teaser! Do you think it's bad for a Predator fan?How did the teaser BR2049 play on nostolgia and what is it?

As someone who works on sound design, mind you that the music used in trailers nowadays is very rarely the one you'll hear in the movie. It's either music available from other composers or comissioned to set a specific tone to the trailer in question.
